So, here is a picture that I took of the statue behind Norton Hall. My angle is head-on, with the statue standing dead center. Because the statue is in the middle, the photo is not very interesting. There is a lot going on in the background, which also takes away from the effect that the photo has on the viewer. Though it is nice that you can see "Norton Hall" written in the background, showing the viewer who the subject is, I think that the building in the background is mostly distracting.
I think that this photo is much better than my first one. There is much less going on in the background, so immediately the viewer's eye is drawn to the statue. The sun coming in from the bottom left corner casts a shadow on the statue, making it contrast with the light blue sky and white clouds. I think that it is much more interesting than my original picture, because it (in my opinion) brings the statue to life. The viewer wants to know what he is looking at. In fact, you can barely tell it is a statue and not a live human being, thanks to the shadow and the fact that the picture was taken from behind.
